WHO IMPACTS THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM?
WHO IMPACTS THE
HOLYSPIRIT BAPTISM?
I
desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, who impacts it? If that’s your
question then you are the reason I’m doing this post.
John
the Baptist rightly answered the above question
I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you
with the Holy Ghost. Mark 1:8
Water
baptism which is by immersion in a river is done by men or the church but the
baptism of the Holy Spirit is ministered by Christ Himself.
Jesus shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Do you want to experience the baptism of the
Holy Ghost; you have to ask God for it.
God can
baptize us directly just like it happened in the upper room in Acts 2 without
any human agent and He can also use those whom had received the baptism of the
Holy Spirit to impact it on others by the laying of their hands or the
communication of faith (Acts 19)
We don’t
decide to God what agency He chooses to use in baptizing those who desires in
the Holy Ghost baptism.
Before you
can be baptized, you must take note of the following:
1. You must avoid Alcohols: Alcohol quenches the spirit, in fact,
those who would be baptized in the Holy Ghost in the Old Testament (they were
known as Nazarites) were forbidden to take alcohols or eat anyhow. Judges 13:4.
2. You must avoid sexual immorality: you must be faithful to your
spouse or if you are single, you must keep your body. Being baptized in the
spirit means you’ve dedicated your body for God’s use at any time. Fornication
or adultery defiles the body and quenches the spirit. …Now the body is not for fornication, but for the
Lord; and the Lord for the body. 1Cor 6:13
3. You must not visit idols: once you are baptized in the Holy Ghost,
you are forbidden to visit sangoma, juju priests, false prophets and whatsoever
unclean spirit. The spirit of God is active in you, taking His presence before
an idol has grave consequences. 2Cor 6:16 (you’ll be able to discern a false
prophet once you are baptized)
4. You must obey and not resist Him when He seeks to move: being baptized in the
Spirit means, God can just stir you up to do something special for Him;
intercede for someone you don’t know, preach to a stranger, wake up and pray
for no reason and the list goes on. You mustn’t resist Him; when you do, you
grieve Him.
You can keep to the above rules by the workings of God’s
grace and fellowship with God in a greater dimension. Do you still desire to be
baptized in the Holy Ghost? Then ask God for it, I’ll be praying to impact it
on you as your faith and desire rises
God bless you
